Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) is a robust perennial grass, growing up to 1.5 meters in height, native to the Terai region of Nepal. We source it from the southern lowlands, specifically from the eastern Terai belt, where it thrives. The essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of freshly harvested leaves, which are abundant in therapeutic compounds. Lemongrass oil is highly regarded for its antifungal, antimicrobial, and stress-relieving properties. It is also known for its soothing effects in baths, helping to alleviate muscular tension and pain. The harvesting season runs from March to October, allowing for multiple harvests throughout this period.
